Running Speed

Last weekend Runners For Life had a 33K run. My goal was to run 15k and retire (with the kind of shape I am in that’s a big goal). Unfortunately got up very late and I had only time to brush my teeth. I didn’t have any time to eat anything, just drank a gatorade and started the run. By the time I reached 9k I was so hungry and I had to stop my run at 13.2k. I think I could have run another lap, but didn’t want to take the risk of running with such an empty stomach. The thing that bothers me was the timing; it took me 1.33mins to run 13.2 k. With this speed looks like I can only finish a marathon in 6.00hours. Now I need to try and improve my speed, I am going to try “Fartlek training”. Lets see if this works.
